The Prime Minister was among the majority of MPs that helped defeat a Conservative member's motion to open debate on the definitinon of a human being.
But ten of Stephen Harper's ministers and Cypress Hills-Grasslands MP David Anderson were among those who rose to vote in favour of Stephen Woodworth's private motion to study the definition of a human being in the Criminal Code. The motion was defeated by a vote of 203-91.
Harper had called Woodworth's motion "unfortunate," and in the spring said he would vote against it because of his party's electoral commitment to not re-open the debate on abortion.
Anderson has said it wasn't about abortion, but to study an antiquated definition.
